Structural Load Analysis is the verifying process of the loads on physical structures and its members including fitnesses that analyses the internal forces (axial force, shear force, moment), stress, strain, deflection, etc., in the structure under applied load conditions. The Structural Loads are generally classified: 1) Dead Load (DL): structure’s self weight and generally remain constant during the structure’s life; 2) Live Load (LL): traffic loads, etc. may vary; 3) Environmental Load: Wind load (WL), Snow load (SL), Earthquake load, Thermal load, etc.
